I learned to read Urdu in a month! This was truly a transformative experience. The instructor Ali is very patient, answers all of your questions, and shares linguistic and historical context wherever he can. This elevates the language learning experience to include explaining the cultural landscape of South Asia, and by extension (for Hindi speakers), our own heritage. It was a wonderful course - definitely worth my time. I would recommend it to anyone!

I’ve enjoyed every class with Ali and the Zabaan school. From knowing no written Hindi and very limited spoken Hindi, I’ve been able to give speeches in Hindi and read and write it. Ali’s teaching method has also enabled me to convert my Hindi learning into reading and writing Urdu. It’s been a fun three years of study.

Bahati
I am a native Swahili speaker from East Africa, the birthplace of the Swahili language, with a deep understanding of its linguistic and cultural heritage. I have extensive experience teaching students from diverse backgrounds, helping them develop confidence in speaking, reading, writing, and understanding Swahili.
My teaching approach emphasizes practical communication, cultural immersion, and a supportive learning environment tailored to learners of all levels. I am passionate about sharing the richness of East African culture while helping students achieve their personal, academic, and professional language goals.
Rachayta
Rachayta has been teaching Hindi and Braj Bhasha at Zabaan since 2012. She completed her bachelor’s degree in Hindi from Delhi University in 2010 and her master’s degree in Linguistics from Jawaharlal Nehru University two years later. A native Hindi speaker and student of the language, Rachayta is knowledgeable about the language at both a conversational and structural level. Her love of linguistics enables her to deconstruct the language and simplify it for students while her interest in Hindi literature allows her to carefully select the most appropriate reading for her students according to their interests and language learning goals. Her passion for other regional languages led her to learn Braj Bhasha — the 16th century western dialect of Hindi. She also learned Urdu during her time at Zabaan and is now teaching that as well at all levels.

I have been teaching Arabic for the past seven years, helping students from different backgrounds to learn and enjoy the beauty of the Arabic language. My passion is to make Arabic accessible and engaging for everyone, no matter their level or experience.
Throughout my career, I have focused on creating a supportive and motivating learning environment. I am excited to share my knowledge in the Free Arabic Script Course starting on May 1st, and I look forward to helping more students begin their journey with Arabic.
